How to travel and enjoy free accommodation!


I found this website and thought that everyone with an interest in budget traveling would find it interesting:

www.couchsurfing.com

It is an online forum that allows registered users to link up with people who would be willing to allow them to "couch surf" while traveling. You can create a profile and plan your traveling around linking up with people who will allow you to sleep on their beds/couches/futons. There are over 30,000 registered users and you can check to see how a user's couch surfing experiences have gone in the past with the help of a rating system. If you look at the pictures of the "couches" you'll see that some are full size beds in private guest rooms! What a great way to meet interesting people, get an inside look at a city or town with the help of your host, and enjoy free accommodation.

Hope all is well,

Andrew
